Why would someone have a problem with Affirmative Action?

I am a HR director and I have spent my career studying civil rights law and affirmative action. I hear so many people opposed to it. I think a lot of people do not understand what it is. Affirmative action simply ures that nobody can hire on the basis of race, , ethnic background, or ual orientation. Affirmative action is the enforcer of equal opportunity. The is no quota, not really. If you have only hired 50 white males between 25-35 then you WILL be looked into. You are not forced to hire unqualified individuals. If a black person comes in and a white and whoever is the most qualified and the best fit for the company will get the job.uming that blacks are not qualified is racist. No company is going to hire unqualified individuals, it does not matter your color. When Affirmative action first began, many people were still stuck in the seperate but equal mindset and change did not go well for them. So politicians ran with it and fed people fear instead of what is true.
